I don't think there is such a thing as a "reluctant" member of Congress.

well maybe a better term is "backbencher" or "invisible". An example of someone would be like Tom Latham of Iowa or Bob Aderholt of Alabama.

That's a better term.

Scott Rigell - he's in a big class of Republican freshmen, and he hasn't really done anything of note aside from back off his "no raising taxes ever" pledge he made when he was running. So I'll go with the backbencher/invisible.

Mark Warner and Jim Webb - definitely not ideologues, and for a one-termer, Webb has had a pretty accomplished tenure. Both are lawmakers.
